In the land of wanting to eat whatever we want over Christmas but we can’t because hello fat pants, these cookies become a saviour. Also, this recipe is a half batch recipe, so there’s no need to feel intimidated by a full tray of 1000 cookies staring back at you, begging to be eaten, only for you to try to refuse. There’s simply not enough, Especially if you have family to steal them all from you before they hit any sort of plate.
After Hot Chocolate Fudge Pudding Cakes, SUPER Fudgy Brownies and Quick Soft Cinnamon Rolls to keep us on our toes, this cookie recipe comes to us as a last minute ‘help me’ type of recipe. This recipe is super simple to make and super decadent with no guilt afterwards. Well, hardly any guilt. You know what I mean. I’ve been hanging to share these with you for so long now, but with Prime Rib Roasts and Scalloped Potatoes and Caprese Wreaths creating chaos all over the place, I’ve saved the best for last!
HOW TO BAKE Chocolate Crinkle Cookies?
- Make sure you start with room temperature ingredients so the butter and egg mix together easier.
- If you can use Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa powder instead of Dutch process cocoa powder
- Make sure you chill the cookie dough for at least 3 hours. The dough is super sticky and easier to manage once it has been chilled (the longer, the better). Chilling also ensures thicker cookies with a fudgy texture, and less spreading while baking.
- Once they are rolled into balls and placed onto your baking sheet, there is no need to press them down. They will naturally bake into shape.
- Make sure your oven is HOT before baking! Or they will still be raw after 10 minutes.
- The baking time suggested in the recipe is a guide. Remember, this depends on how hot your oven runs. They will be super soft when they come out of the oven and Harden as they cool. If you bake them for too long, the centres will not be fudgy.
- Bake them big or bake them small, it makes no difference in texture. The end result is the same. For bigger cookies, just leave them in baking in the oven for 2 minutes longer.
